Day 89: Zero Alcohol

We might just be able to pull it off. I'm averaging about $240 a night... And my wife is averaging about $100 per day. So i think we are going to be able to make it. I am down 1.2Lbs from yesterday. I think the combination of not eating and no drinking alcohol is finally leading to weight loss. The problem.... due to taking respiridone for nearly 18 years means that my stomach is shrinking but my chest isnt. I'm sure in public i'm going to hear a lot of "She" or "Lucifer" or "The devil" so in order to get ahead of this i am going to start working out. I figure massive amounts of chest exercises will cause then to turn into Pecks rather than look like I got implants. Today is the last day for Nicotine. I have 11 Zyns left plus the one I am currently using. If i finish them during my shift tonight.... I'll throw on a Nicotine patch and call it a day. If i don't, then whatever I have left over at the end of the night will get tossed and I'll put on a nicotine patch when i wake up tomorrow afternoon.

"Fucking Neighbors" - One of the neighbors kids was sad so they pulled the fire alarm this afternoon. Not the best way to wake up if you ask me.... but the firefighter said "I'll see you tomorrow." If this kid pulls the alarm again tomorrow - I'm going to take it as harassment. Reason 205 on why i want to move out of this place. 

That's all i have for right now. Tomorrow is Day 90. 3 months ago seems so far away.... but to be honest the time passed by fairly quickly. So i am hoping 56 days goes by just as quickly.

A Bit of Hope on a Cloudy Afternoon.

Tonight we are heading over our friends' house to have dinner and hang out for a while. December 10th isn't really a memorable date. But every year around this time of year things start to happen that give tiny moments like these a real feeling of warming. Today even, it was nearly 60 degrees at one point today and it made this brutal cold seem bearable. It's not safe to be outside during the darkest of winter. Cold brings out the worst in people, and overall it's hard to handle because it also brings out the despair in people. Merge the two together and you could be looking at a cold dark society which emerges in the spring jaded working every year to bring happiness into ones life only to suffer the cold dark winter the following year. Today i have hope though. Recently i was inspired after talking with people that care about me. The best part is... a renewed sense of hope can alter the mind in such a way... it's better than any drug or substance that you can use ...

A lot of planning...

 So, seeing as I'm now out of work again I figure my current system isn't working. If i want to be successful in business and in life, then i need to get my basics down. Recently, I've started making sheets on excel to track what I'm doing everyday. they range everything from Diet and exercise to mood and symptoms. If i don't start tracking this stuff then I'm never going to make progress. While it's easy to put these items into practice using 1000s of apps... i found that just writing it all down on a few excel spreadsheets and tracking it by hand several times a day is a lot easier to remember. And it gets me off my phone. Lately I've be "Doom Scrolling" without any real purpose and what ends up happening is eventually the AI algorithm starts showing me videos of people dying in car crashes. Not exactly what makes me happy ya know. So I've got my lists and that's what I'll be working on for the foreseeable future while i attempt t...

No Sooner Did I Say....

 No sooner did i mention that I have a new job, was i laid off for excessive days off. It's really for the birds. Here i am a disabled person who wants to work... and I've had an incredibly hard time hold down a job this year. Whether it be manic episodes due to the medication my doctor put me on, or the company pulling a bait and switch and finding due to that I'm not qualified for the position, to being out sick a couple of days and getting let go... this year has been terrible. While I've had frequent thoughts of a permanent "Out" for myself from this life... it would seem like a waste to get from an unsuccessful suicide attempt in 2008 to giving it another go 17 years later. I feel like if i survived the first attempt... then i must be here on this planet for some reason so i need to make the best of my time. Even in poor health, an optimistic attitude can make the difference between healing or not.   I don't know what my plan is now. But, i know that ...
